=/\= Campbell's Home =/\=
Upon entering the unlocked house Rowan's mother was found in bed. Her breathing was shallow and labored, while her skin held a bluish tint. Her body temperature was elevated; making her coloration all the more odd. In listening to Lissa's lungs; the doctor commented on how filled they seemed.
Rowan sat on a bucket outside the front door of her home. She looked up when Constantine walked out the door. "Is momma ... still in bed?"
"Yeah kiddo, she's just sleeping at the moment and the medic's looking after her. It's likely they'll move her to the station for a little while and you'll come along as well. I guess Joe can show you a few more Lassie movies whilst you're there." Con said as he ruffled her hair.
"Will you watch them too," she asked.
"Will you watch them too," she asked.
"...Well when I'm not out on patrol I guess I could partake" Con answered in a non-committal fashion.
"If I find you more treasure, will you watch movies with me and eat hot dogs and popcorn?"
"Listen Rowan you don't need to bribe me, I'll be there as long as I'm needed. I can watch films and get you popcorn and hot dogs too provided you avoid puking over Nerso's shoes too often. However if you're daddy hid more disks like the one you gave me earlier, it's important if we are to be able to help your daddy escape from the people who took him." Con looked down at her seriously.
She looked at her shoes and kicked her heel against the bucket she was sitting on. "Well... they looked for Daddy's treasures before... but I'm better at hiding them ... then he was."
Rowan's use of the word was to describe her father was a true indication of truly how long her father had been gone and that Rowan had heard some of things the men, who had been searching for her father's treasures, said. She hopped of the bucket and took off running toward a field of sheep. As she reached the sheep they started to scatter but the dog that had been placidly sitting watching the sheep, sprung into action and kept them all together.
"Guess Lassie really does watch the sheep here." Con said absent mindedly really wondering what Rurick had found that would make him worthy of abduction.
Rowan crested a small hill and tripped rolling down the other side, coming to a stop when she hit a small outcropping of rock. Pretty soon she was bent down in front of the rocks as if she were praying to some alter. All to quickly though half of her body disappeared from view..

"What the?" Con started towards Rowna's position and saw she was worming her way down what looked like an oversized rabbit hole. He reached in and tried to grab her before she went too far.
When she felt the warm hand enclose around her ankle, she became perfectly still, extremely unusual for a child of her age. Nervously she asked, "Con?"
"Of course it's Con, who else would it be?" He replied.
With his answer her little body relaxed and she relied, "Almost got it."
"How much deeper is it?" He asked reluctant to let go of her, lest she get stuck underground.
"Just a little," she grunted and kicked her little feet until she'd wiggled from his grasp. With only the tips of her shoes showing, she yelled, "Got it," and started to wiggle her body out backwards.

Con felt Rowan worming her way back up the tunnel and when he had a decent grip on her foot he pulled her up the tunnel to the surface.
She flipped onto her back and smiled up at Con, "That was fun." In her hand she held some kind of foreign sash and wrapped in it was a map and another couple of small disks.

With an excited gleam in her eye, she held the items out to Con, "Now we can watch movies!!"
Con examined the disks and if the data was anything like what he had seen on the first disk it could prove crucial to shutting down Orion Syndicate operations in this entire sector. "For this I'll be more than glad to watch movies with hot dogs and popcorn." Truth be told he would be willing to walk through barbed wire for this information.
